“Some fine tuning is required. A committee of secretaries headed by the principal secretary to the Prime Minister is looking into it,” Sharma said during a meeting with senior members of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). “Other meetings which will take place within the next 10 days will help us in bringing this to a successful conclusion. Soon we will be in a position to circulate Cabinet note on the policy,” Sharma said.
